Calwings 06/15/19 11:24:03 PM #76:	LostForest posted... I like more fights but didn't they do the same number of fights last year in 1-hour episodes? Excluding any Science Channel bonus fights, the 1-hour episodes in last year's season had 5 fights apiece, while this season's 2-hour episodes have (so far) each had 7 fights apiece. So yes, we are getting less fights per hour on average than last year, but I really like that the extra hour gives more time for extra behind-the-scenes stuff. For people who only come for the carnage and don't care about the extra fluff, I can understand why the extra downtime could make episodes feel like they drag on a bit. Darkrobotisback posted... I'm honestly surprised this show still running... I remember seeing it back then on Nickelodeon, and buying a physical copy of battle bots on the GBA... DuneMan posted... IIRC they've gone through iterations over the years. This might be the 3.0 version? The original BattleBots series aired in the early 2000's on Comedy Central and was cancelled after 5 seasons. It was revived in 2015 and had 2 seasons on ABC, then took a year off, and now this is the 2nd season in its current Discovery/Science Channel home. The ABC/Discovery/Science reboot is considered all one new series. If you're remembering any robot combat show airing on Nickelodeon, that was actually a US-made spinoff of the UK Robot Wars series, not a version of BattleBots. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://i.imgtc.com/eZ90o0r.gif <cite>Calwings posted [p:923374400] in BattleBots...
